Saluting Service

This show aired live on Veterans Day and was dedicated to the men and women who have served this country and fought for the freedoms that we enjoy today…live from the veteran-owned 1912 Brewing Company!

Gabe Ceniceros, David Clark, Matt Russell & Allan Conger

Our celebrity co-host was David Clark, lead barman at Hotel Congress, who shared some of the things that excite him most when he’s shaking and stirring on downtown Tucson’s historic east end. We also heard from Todd Bostock of Dos Cabezas WineWorks who just brought a canned sparkling wine to the market. A big can. Like liter-sized! Listen as he describes the inspiration behind these bubbles. We were then joined by founder and brewer at 1912 Brewing Company Allan Conger, a U.S. Marine veteran, who talked about his story of service, how it inspired his brewing journey, a little about a collaborative beer that he just tapped, and his current line-up of suds.

Behold. The Brig Bound. A collaborative brew crafted by local veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard!

We also checked in with Gabe Ceniceros of the Blacktop Grill who was on-site to serve some craft beer cuisine.
